Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a fiber retaining circular polarization and to a device implementing such a method.
  • the single-mode fibers usually produced for telecommunications always have a small amount of linear birefringence, and circular birefringence. As a result these fibers retain neither linear polarization nor circular polarization.
  • One solution to create this circular polarization consists in subjecting the glass fiber to a static torsional stress, for example applied externally by torsion between its two ends: one effect of the torsion of this fiber is to introduce a circular birefrigerence into it this.
  • the present invention relates to a method for preserving a state of twist in the fiber. It makes it possible to obtain a fiber of helical structure or chiral structure. But this fiber can be of any section, it can thus have a complex geometry.
  • Any torsional stress creating a circular birefringence a known art process described in patent application number 81 20596 filed on November 3, 1981 consists in twisting an already stretched fiber and maintaining it mechanically under this stress state, by realizing a coating of the fiber with a rigid envelope such as an additional layer of glass.
  • the invention overcomes these drawbacks by considering a step of remelting the surface of the fiber carried out simultaneously with steps of drawing and twisting thereof.
  • the so-called single-mode fibers are in fact fibers for which the solution to the propagation equations is unique, but whose mode is degenerate. Two modes whose propagation constants are identical, but whose polarizations are orthogonal therefore propagate in the fiber. This degeneration can, moreover, be lifted by any anisotropy of the fiber, whether it is intrinsic or due to external disturbances.
  • the consequence is that the "real" fibers are bimode, each of the modes being polarized orthogonally to the other; This causes on the one hand the variation in propagation speed from one polarization to the other which will reduce the bandwidth that the fiber can transmit, and on the other hand the random coupling between the two modes will produce a state of random polarization at the output of the fiber.
  • This problem is solved by imposing a large difference in propagation constant between the two eigen modes transmitted in the fiber so as to minimize the coupling between these two modes.
  • An incident wave which is polarized according to eigen modes then remains in this mode, and the fiber can then be considered as being single mode for this incident polarization.
  • the constraints taken into account are those acting on the material in which the light is propagated, that is to say on the core of the fiber.
  • any torsional stress creating a circular birefringence the known art method used to keep the circular polarization in the fiber consists in twisting an already stretched fiber and to maintain it mechanically under this stress state, as represented in FIG. 1.
  • the proposed method consists in subjecting the fiber to torsional stresses during its stretching and in remelting a part of the volume of the fiber situated at the periphery thereof, as shown in FIG. 3; zone 5 being the reflow zone. This has the consequence of relaxing the stresses on the periphery while they are maintained on the core 6 of the fiber. When the external torsional stresses applied to the fiber are released, the stress field is distributed so that the stresses supported by the periphery are very low. The balance of stresses in the fiber must be zero. This reflow of the surface fiber is carried out on an unprotected fiber maintained in torsion. That is to say on the silica fiber before any deposit of a protective sheath.
  • the method of the invention therefore consists in constraining the fiber in torsion and in melting it superficially while it is under stress.
  • volume for example 3/4 or 9/10 of the fiber are affected by reflow, the core not being affected by it; ie a central part approximately 10 to 20 micrometers is not affected.
  • the effect of the twist is to rotate one end at an angle a relative to the other, as shown in Figure 4 where the fiber has been twisted turns per meter.
  • the stress field is therefore a torsion field, the intensity a of which is given by the formula: where / u is the sliding stiffness modulus, the variation curve of which is shown in FIG. 6 where the distance a represents the radius of the fiber.
  • the fiber is then released, that is to say that the torsion which was imposed is released. A balance is then established, so that the total torque applied to the fiber is zero. There then occurs a reverse torsion to that applied at the start, and which comes to balance the residual torsion after reflow.
  • the fiber therefore undergoes a twist - ⁇ , which induces a stress field which at each point is worth - ⁇ / ur. This field is such that the total moment is zero:
  • the stresses on the surface of the fiber are therefore divided by 256, while in the useful part (part not remelted) they are multiplied by (1 - ). We can therefore neglect the stresses on the surface of the fiber, and neglect the reduction of stresses on the core of the fiber. The material after remelting remains in place.
  • FIG. 9 A device for implementing this method is shown in Figure 9.
  • This figure illustrates the different elements of a fiberizing machine implementing the method of the invention. These different elements are as follows: a preform 8 which is positioned inside the melting means 9, which can be a blowtorch, a Joule effect oven, a high, medium or low frequency induction oven, is at origin of the fiber 1. These melting means 9 soften the preform 8. The material begins to flow and a fiber 1 is obtained by drawing and twisting.
  • the first element after the drawing oven is such that the twist applied to the fiber is not absorbed by the drawing cone.
  • These are, for example, pulleys 19 coated with non-slip material (rubber, silicone) in which the fiber cannot slip.
  • the reflow oven 20 makes it possible to melt a part of the volume of the fiber 1 situated at the periphery of the latter.
  • the device 16 allows the solidification of the protective layer of the material 18 applied by the coating device 15.
  • the gantry providing a torsional stress to the fiber is a winding drum 17. This drum 17 prints to the fiber a number of twist turns proportional to the drawing speed of a fiberizing device allowing the fiber to be stretched and twisted during its manufacture.
  • the reflow oven can be designed in different ways: one can for example use an induction oven, a graphite oven.
  • C0 2 carbon dioxide laser
  • the beam is directed on a parabolic (or spherical) mirror which, reflected on an ellipsoidal mirror, makes it possible to concentrate the energy on a ring surrounding the fiber as represented in figure 10.
  • This device allows a fusion of the fiber with powers very weak laser (10 Watts) and to obtain a good symmetry of revolution of the heating.
  • the depth of the reflow can be controlled by measuring the torque applied by the fiber on the clamping pulleys.
